- ultrarunner 7mo agoThe penalty doesn't have to be increased, it just needs to be selectively enforced.
- seba_dos1 7mo agoYou'd need to have some unenforced penalty first though.
- victorbjorklund 7mo agoThere is no penalty.
- gmueckl 7mo agoNo, Germany punishes according to the laws at the time of the crime. It is not possible to retroactively enforce new criminal statutes.
